I feel for her:(

What exactly are you feeling ?...Sorrow ?..Pity ?...Do you feel others have treated her unkindly for no good reason ?...I can assure you that is not the case...The feelings that she has provoked in others is due to her own actions, by things that she has said & done...There are a few people in here that treated her with great care, people who took the time to be her friend & to help her...She has shit on every one of those people...I don't know where your compassion stems from but, it's misplaced.

How did bikers and military service get so closely linked? Or do I have it wrong and it's just a pretention that's prevalent online.

I'm not trying to discount the respect bikers have for GIs, but as someone that's been affiliated with the military for 31 years, the feeling doesn't seem to be reciprocated. I'll freely admit it's outside my realm of experience though and I'd like to hear about someone else's point of view on the matter. Are a lot of bikers veterans?

After world war 2 many veterans felt disenfranchised with modern American life and found it very difficult to readjust to civilian life. So a select band of them bought motorcycles, turned their back on modern society and took to the roads.

N.B - None of them owned or bought Japanese bikes, NOT ONE.

OP if I remember my 'bike history' correctly, the Japanese didn't get into the motorcycle market until the late 1950's in America. They brought over scooters and started the "anyone can ride a motorcycle" mania.

I don't know if they made and sold full sized motorcycles in other countries but it wasn't until the lat '50's and early '60's that Japanese bikes became available here on a large scale.

There were many different brands of Ameircan iron back then too.

- LuMPyPussy - 06-22-2009

So the current crop of riders sort of inherited the tradition even if they've never been affiliated with the military?'

Hmmm...

The assassination of a GOOD president will do that....

If GW had been assassinated, I picture more a scene of parties in the streets.
(then again, nix that... gawd forbid if Cheney had been president)
